Certificate of Deposit (CD) or Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

CDs and IRAs are safe investments insured against loss, with competitive rates and low maintenance. Interest earned accrues daily and is compounded and paid semiannually for terms longer than six months. You may reinvest interest, transfer the amount to our savings or checking account or choose to receive a check.

Interest rates are competitive and fixed for the term of the CD

You will receive a notice prior to maturity. Certificates automatically renew for the same term at current market rates, unless you choose a new one. You may withdraw funds without penalty up to 10 days after your certificate has been renewed.

Enjoy the option to exchange your interest rate one (1) time without penalty during the term of the originally scheduled maturity. At the time of the rate exchange, the new rate will be the current interest rate for our 18-Month CD at the time of the exchange. This exchange will be at no cost to you. If you make an exchange, the maturity date of this account will remain the same as originally scheduled. We will allow the exchange at any time during the term of the originally scheduled maturity.

Electronic Fund Transfers

When you use an American Bank and Trust Company, N.A., Visa® branded card at a merchant that settles in currency other than US dollars, Visa® will charge an International Service Assessment (ISA) fee to complete the transaction regardless if there was a currency conversion involved to convert your transaction to US dollars.

If there was no currency conversion involved with your transaction (“single-currency transaction”) the ISA fee is 0.8% of the transaction amount.

If there was a currency conversion involved with your transaction (“multi-currency transaction”) the ISA fee is 1% of the transaction amount.

An international transaction is defined by Visa® as a transaction where the issuer’s country (i.e., the card-issuing financial institution’s country) is different than the merchant’s country.

Depending upon the merchant you patronize, any transaction could qualify as an international transaction, including Internet based transactions.

Other Terms

When issuing a handwritten check, you agree to legibly write checks with ink (black or blue) on a sufficiently contrasting tamper-resistant safety paper that is readable when automated check processing equipment scans and converts your original paper check document into an electronic image or substitute image document using the prevalent check processing standards of banks in the United States. Checks issued using ink jet printers, laser printers or other printing equipment must be documents that are resistant to unauthorized post-issue alterations using reasonable commercially available document security features. Such checks must also be readable when automated check processing equipment scans and converts your original paper check document into an electronic image or substitute image document using the prevalent check processing standards of banks in the United States. You, as the maker of the check, are responsible for claims, disputes, or losses arising from an unreadable image caused by an original check document not conforming to these requirements.
